It is just the logo for a now defunct union team.Intredasting
that is what it looked liked, i've got it in an old footy sticker book somewhere (97) maybe.. anyway yeah i'll try scan it and put it up later there's a few interesting images in it.Im interested in what this would have looked like if used today...
My interpretation:

That Fitzroy logo wasn't licensed to the AFL so I'm not sure if it was ever official. The same bloke has a Footscray logo and a Football Record design.Did we ever find this unused Royboys logo? There was a Footscray badge with a similar feature (a disguised FFC). This has one as well. Could've been a bit of a trend for footy clubs of the time...
It's funny, or more sad than anything, that this was due to expire at the end of 1997 (after being registered in '95). Most other AFL logos, including a Brisbane Lions (rego'd '96) one, had at least ten years of exclusivity.

There's also, Adelaide Apaches? Registered in 1995 with a lapse date of January 1997. Any possibility this was a back-up for Port Adelaide? I'm guessing not, because I don't remember this appearing on the AFL's IP page. The area is Coromandal Valley for you Croweaters. Is this where the SANFL is based or something?
Can anyone shed some light on what happens when the copyright expires? What can be done with the image? Reproduced?
When copyright expires, anyone can use the work for anything they wish. It's a free-for-all. But copyright has a very long timespan and trademarks are an altogether different matter.
Ahh ****! So nobody can never ever create vfa retro jumpers without the approval of football victoria.
Don't the original copyright holders need to prove, if challenged, that they are still using/or in tend to use it? I think CUB recently was embroiled is legal arguments over all the beer trademarks that they have hoarded but never use, apparntly they have hundreds.Ahh ****!

It's why once every 3 years or so, you can purchase Ballarat Bitter or Richmond Lager or some other obscure beer. They're all defunct in terms of regular production, but they keep the trademarks by labelling a slab of beer every now and then.
Fitroy?
Very interesting. Pretty cool looking packaging as well.It's why once every 3 years or so, you can purchase Ballarat Bitter or Richmond Lager or some other obscure beer. They're all defunct in terms of regular production, but they keep the trademarks by labelling a slab of beer every now and then.
Seeing a bunch of parochial rednecks upset about it is good enough.Swan brewery on the river got sold :-( best place for a beer. Even though they are very expensive
Mate, you're not even from WA. Of course the brewery isn't going to be a concrete slab with milk crates.Rednecks? That place is upmarket mate.
I got a pot of beer there & it was $9 pretty upperclass
